now the hard bit you have to cut all the axle perches off make new ones and weld them on the hole job about 1 and a half days
if you want you can come and have a look
I am in Hastings
Gosh, that is interesting. It would be easy to convert the front hubs to 5x4.25" PCD with a couple of spacers.

Hastings would be a bit far for me (I'm at Costa del Corby, Northamptonshire), do you have any photos you could post?

Hi
yes I can clime under the car and take some pics but it looks just like the standard axle but with disks on the ends
the reason I did it was to get the gearing up for better cruising
spacers yuck in my view leve alone or get some 140 disks fit state on

I'm guessing you have a 3.73:1 ratio back axle now?
We'll have to disagree about spacers - I have then all round on my Amazon and they increase the track very nicely (in my opinion that is).
